STOVE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. '7, 1915.

Application filed November 4,1913. Serial No. 799,141.

. stoves adaptable for use with either solid or fluid fuel, the objectof the invention being to provide means whereby a cooking stove isreadily adapted to employ any kind of fuel; to obviate the necessity forremoval of the fluid fuel burners when it is desired to use solid fuel;to so constructand arrange the fluid fuel burners and the ducts forconveying the fuel thereto, that these devices will not unduly obstructthe passage of heated air and products of combustion around the ovenwhen solid fuel is employed, and to improve, simplify and reduce to aminimum the cost of construction of a cooking stove of the type stated,without detracting from the efficiency of the same.

With these and other objects in view, the invention consists in certainnovel features of cmistrimtion and combinations of parts as hereinafterset forth and pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings; Figure 1 is a perspective View partlybroken away, showing my improvements; Fig. 2 is a sectional View, andFigs. 3, 4 and 5 are detail views.

1 represents a cooking stove provided with the usual fire box and withan elongated chimney flue chamber 2, between which and the back end ofthe top of the fire box a damper 3 is provided.

The oven 4 of the stove comprises side walls 5 and upper and lowerplates 6 and 7, so disposed that the products of combustion from thefire box may be permitted to pass about the oven before reaching theflue chauil'ier. To control the passage of products of ombustion fromthe, tire box through 2 or ollunil'M-n bctvvecn the top oven plate amthe st ve top, a damper 8 is providcd and a dapper 1) may also beprovided between said space or chamber and the fuel chamber 2.

The upper oven plate (3 is made with a plurality of ducts 10 fixed insaid plate, preferably integral therewith and each of these ductscommunicates atone end with a burner 11 which is also fixed in said ovenplate preferably integral therewith and depressed somewhat below theupper face thereof, so as not to obstruct the draft and passage ofproducts of combustion through i the space between the upper oven plateand the stove 'top, when solid fuel is used in the fire box. The duets10 will be supplied with gas by means of any preferred pipe connectionssuch as now commonly used with gas stoves. When the stove is used as acoal or wood stove, the burners 11 will be covered and protectcdby meansof guard plates 12, which may be caused to rest upon seats 13surroundirig the burners, and thesc plates may be provided with socketswhereby they may be handled. by means of an ordinary store lid lifter. 1

Each burner is made with a central open- I ing 13 and air tosupportcombustion is supplied to these openings by means of air ducts 14 formedon the bottom of the upper oven plate, said air ducts being open at theback of the stove.

When the stove is used as a gas stove, the various dampers will beclosed and after rcmoving the lids of the stove top, and the guardplates 12, sleeves or rings 15, having vent openings 16, will be placed.upon the upper oven "plate so as to surround the burners and serve todirect the flame and heat therefrom up through the usual stove topopenings.

The lower oven plate 7 is made with a centrally located elongateddepressed portion 17 having cast therein, a plurality of gas ducts, eachof which idpexrforated to form burners 18. These ducts or burners willbe connected with suitable pipe connections, such as commonly employedon gas stoves, to supply gas thereto. The burners 18 will be cove'ied bymeans of a grating or openwork plate 19 which lies [lush with the upperface of the lower oven plate 7.

Various sli ht changes might be made in the details oli constru tion ofmy invention without departing in m the. spirit thereof or limiting itsscope and hence I do not wish to restrict myself lo the precise detailsheroin set forth.

Having fully described my invention What ters Patent, is

1. In a stove of the character described,

the combination with the stove body, of an oven provided with a platehaving an inte' gral burner depressed below the upper face thereof andhaving jet orifices arranged to discharge upwardly in the direction ofthe plane of the upper face of the oven plate, said plate formed with anintegral fuel duct communicating with said burner, and a re movablecover plate for protecting said burner and adapted to have its uppersurface in the plane of the upper face of the oven plate.

In a combined solid and fluid fuel stove, the con'ihination with a bodyportion, a firechainher, a stove top, and draft controlling means, of anoven in said body portion and spaced therefrom and from the stove top,said oven having lMU'IlQlS integral with its top plate and depressedbelow the top face of said plate, said integral burners having upwardlydischarging jet orifices, and'said top oven plate also having fuel ductsformed therein, and means for protecting Said burners Withoutobstructing the space between the oven and the stove top, when the stoveis used with solid fuel.

3. A stove provided with an oven having a top plate formed withdepressed burners integral therewith, removable guard plat-es for saidburners when the latter are not in use and removable vented said burnerswhen the latter are in use.

In testimony whereof, I have signed this specification in the presenceof two subscribing Witnesses.
